PENN HAS FIRM GRIP ON FIRST PLACE Red and Blue Players Out in Front of Basketball. Field. New York, Feb. 14—Although forced to the limit of its ability, Penn- sylvania, by defeating the Columbia basketball team on Saturday, clinched its hold on first place in the Inter- collegiate Basketball league race. In- cidentally, Yale, by defeating Dart- mouth, maintained its place, but does not seem to have the strength of the leading team. This week will see the second half . of the league season under way. Penn- | sylvania, Yale and Dartmouth have . all entered upon the second stage | of their schedules, but Cornell, with | only three games played, and Prince- ton, with four have scarcely made a ' good beginning. They will make up for lost time in the next fortnight and for that reason the forthcoming two weeks should be decisive in deter- mining the championship. Columbia played uncertainly Sat- urday, despite the fact that it W supported by a huge crowd, and there now seems little likelihood that the erstwhile champions will be able to pull themselves out of the cellar. Dartmouth, too, is erratic, and will hardly give much more trouble. The real struggle will probably be be- tween Princeton and Cornell to over- take Pennsylvania. McNichol, the Pennsylvania cap- | tain, strengthened his hold as lead- ing point getter. He leads with 72, and Kinney, of Yale, is second 68.

How about those who paid from $25 to $50 a seat?” “No chance,” answered Tex, “they'll fight, all right.” “You think they will, but how do you know ?” N “Because,” said Tex, “Willard now the champion and he under- stands that he must prove he is a reg- ular champion. He would only make a bum out of himself by loafing or hnlding back. He must fight as fast as he can and as hard as he can, with only ten rounds to go. “As for Moran—this is his big chance. He will fight even harder than Willard will. Moran is a smart, intelligent fellow, with brains enough to know that his reputation depends upon the showing in this match. No, I'm not worried about that part of it. There will be no loafing—not for any $2,000 a minute of my money. I don’t say there will be a knockout, but there will be a wild scramble in that direction, at least.” Perhaps, and Then Again.

Waterman, the var- sity man two years ago, who was Harte’s substitute in 1916, is still in college and possibly will play ball again. Enwright, the football player is a good infielder, although not a heavy hitter. He has a good arm though and has done some catching. It is likely therefore that Coach Mitchell will make every effort to develop him as a catcher to alternate with Harte, who besides being a good hitter had about the best throwing arm of the college catchers last seagon. | BLACK 1S 0. K. ard's Fred Mitchell will undertake college | coaching for the first time this year, but his experience as battery coach of the Fraves and as a man to develup team play and spirit is expected to serve him well at Harvard.
